Hi guys, I'm Becky and today I'm going to be answering one of Britain's Biggest Beauty
Questions, how to dye blonde hair.
I've actually shifted a few shades darker from the left picture, to the right.
Now I'm actually going to be using a home dye box colour, when I was brunette I used
to do this all the time at home, no problem, but now I'm blonde, I was a bit scraed that
I might turn myself into a Lego head so I've taken the box into a salon to show me and
you exactly the best way to do it and I can take this home and do it at home and recreate
it, it was so easy to do.
So I'm going to get to the video, don't forget to subscribe to this channel for new videos
every Friday as well.
Not everyone can afford to go to the hair salon all the time, it's so expensive to get
your hair highlighted, so this is the finished result and I'm so happy.
I actually used a Clairol nice 'n easy colour, this is in natural honey blonde, it's number
8G and it's a permanent colour.
Now I was very scared about doing this at home, so I actually did go into a salon so
I could show you how easy this is to do.
I went to a guy called Jonathan Long at Lockonego and he is absolutely incredible and just really
put my mind at ease about how easy this is to do at home.
You literally get 3 little bottles in this kit, so you get number 1,2 and 3, super easy!
Mix 1 and 2 together and that's going to be your colour.
So you're going to section your hair off and in each section squirt the colour in between
the hair and then just rub that in, make sure you've got the gloves on.
Now before you have done this you need to do an allergy test just to make sure that
you're not allergic to colour, always, always do that just on your skin 48 hours before
you're going to colour your hair to make sure you're not going to have a reaction to that
colour so pop a little bit on to your skin.
So, as I said, you're going to section the hair off, you're going to put that colour
in and concentrate on the roots first of all because that's the most important part and
then you're going to use that product and work it all the way down the hair.
Now, this colour for me, the idea behind the nice 'n easy range is they are encouraging
people to go, kind of, two shades darker or 2 shades lighter because like me, I always
stick to the same hair colour, which is just so boring, so it really helps you to kind
of step out the box and just go a few shades darker or lighter.
For me this has made a massive difference going a few shades darker, I was so scared
about going a little bit warmer in colour but I absolutely love it.
The great thing about Clairol, first of all, they have 56 shades so whatever your hair
shade you're going to be able to find the right colour.
If you've got grey hairs it covers all of that as well and the great thing about this
is it has 3 salon tones, so basically what that means is you're not going to get a block
Lego head, that's what I was scared about doing a blonde colour at home because I was
so scared I would just get one block colour but it doesn't you can see I've got loads
of different colours in here which I absolutely love.
The third thing you get in the box as well is a conditioner, which oh my goodness, you,
if you've ever tried a kind of box hair colour conditioner you'll know what I mean about
how amazing it is.
It's so incredibly soft and just leaves your hair absolutely beautiful.
I would say with this you definitely need to buy two boxes, for me with the length of
hair, unless you've got shoulder length hair buy two boxes, they're about £5.99 so they
are not expensive, buy two so you have enough product and you're probably going to need
to do that every 6 to 8 weeks at home.
So much cheaper though than doing it in a salon.
Ok, so then you need to look after your hair because that's the main thing, once you've
coloured it make sure you really look after that blonde.
So the products that I use and I want to talk about, first of all Aussie.
I have been in love with this brand for so many years, first of all it's a high street
brand so it's so affordable.
This is actually their colour range so first of all the 3 minute colour deep treatment
which is incredible.
Aussie, I am obsessed with the smell, this actually has peach extract in and it just
feels so soft when you put it on your hair, the 3 minute miracle is going to give you
a really deep conditioning treatment to make sure your hair doesn't dry out and then there's
the Colour Mate shampoo and conditioner which is going to protect that blonde colour as
well, it just smells so good and leaves my hair feeling so, so soft.
My hair gets greasy after a day, if I use dry shampoo I can go three days and that's
going to keep your blonde colour better, so one of my favourites to use is the Herbal
Essences Dry Shampoo, this is in Ignite My Colour, this smells of rose which I absolutely
love, I love dry shampoos that smell of something nice.
It doesn't leave that horrible sticky white kind of stuff in your hair and you're able
to brush it out.
I've actually put it in today just so you can see what my hair looks like with this
dry shampoo.
Really nice and soft, it's going to keep it non-greasy and just save that colour.
Next up, one of the most important things when you're styling your hair- heat protection.
Never, never, never put hot irons on your hair without heat protection, this is my Sebastian
Trilliant thermal protection spray, basically you shake it and then spray it all over your
hair and it's beautiful, it smells nice, it leaves my hair so silky as well which I love,
and it's obviously protecting your hair against the heat.
And last but not least, something that I was so excited to find, these are my Braun Satin
Hair 7 hair straighteners they are incredible if you have coloured hair because you are
able to programme your hair length, your hair thickness and if you have your hair coloured
into a hair straightener and then when you press that profile, these straighteners will
heat up to the temperature you should straighten your hair at, incredible!
So I know that I'm often over heating in terms of hot irons because I can't set that temperature
whereas this just lowers it a tiny bit and when you've got blonde hair you don't want
that really high heat.
These are so beautiful, they leave your hair so soft and just, they give you like a little
smiley face when you're doing it too fast or if there's too much moisture in but that
colour option is literally what is going to save your hair.
So I hope you've enjoyed that video guys, don't forget to give it a big thumbs up if
you did and I will see you guys next time, bye!
